wildcatalumni Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) I've noticed that we (WC fans) have bounced around from thread to thread. So I figured, might as well start our 2015 thread and maybe talk about the season that just ended for us. I would say it's gonna be hard to replace the senior class. But let's be honest lol, just about all of them went down to an injury at some point this year. I'm not totally sure how many seniors we lose? Also, I guess I like the new region but idk. The teams we will be for sure playing next year: Clarksville Acad, Collinwood, Hollow Rock-Bruceton, Houston Co, Huntingdon, McEwen, and Perry Co.

wildcat89 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 WC loses 11 seniors. Chase Camfield, Lukas Pierce, Braden Graham, Sterling Walker, Kaden Davis, DylanAllen, Austin Yarborough, Tristan Haggard, Chase Turnbow, Dylan Collins and Peyton Bratcher. The biggest thing for WC next year is getting some young lineman developed. WC returns all their backfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodfootball Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 WC will probably be the strongest competition for Huntingdon, the perennial 2A powerhouse, even though they lose some very GOOD lineman. I'm sure Coach Rice and staff will have the next group ready to perform when next season begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsdad Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I don't know guys I'm concerned about the O line and D line next year. I'm sure we will win a bunch of games just with our backfield that returns but you win in November at the line of scrimmage. We need studs up front to make a real run.

catsdad Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Also, has anything been said about Coach Pierce retiring? He had told me 3 years ago that when Lucas was done that he would probably step away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told by a family member of his that he was retiring, but I seriously doubt that he will.

I'm sure we will win a bunch of games just with our backfield that returns but you win in November at the line of scrimmage. We need studs up front to make a real run. I really hope 14-15 is like 08-09. We were 9-3 in '08, lost to a really good Jo Byrns team in the second round, graduated the majority of our offensive and defensive lines, but kept the entire backfield. We did pretty darn well in the '09 playoffs. Although the injuries (particularly to the line) were tough to go through this year, I think it will help next year's transition. I expect us to do very well in the regular season too; but, we'll have to be far more consistent with protecting the football, penalties, etc. than we were this year to get past the early rounds. Our playoff bracket with Huntingdon, Trousdale County, Nashville Christian, Middle TN Christian, Gordonsville, Jo Byrns, and Clarksville Academy is a killer. They basically took all of the successful 1A (and 2A) Middle TN teams, and stuck them altogether with Huntingdon. It will be a huge battle royale through the third round.

TheAmbassador Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Wayne County, NCS and Trousdale should be the front runners in the west in 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakecounty1968 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Wayne County, NCS and Trousdale should be the front runners in the west in 2015. Huntingdon and Trenton Peabody will also be very good next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat89 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Wayne County, NCS and Trousdale should be the front runners in the west in 2015.WC success is going to come down to whether or not they can get some lineman to step up, I been thinking this for two years and that's why I argued with you about next year being WC's year. If WC had stayed healthy this year I think it would have been the best team they will field for a couple years. WC will be loaded with skill players next year but can't name one starting lineman as of right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WC will return Horton and Skelton at d ends and you will probably have Floyd and Birchette on the offensive lines. Yes my youngest will be a freshman and I don't think any freshman is ever ready to take a spot, maybe help with some depth. There's some talent coming from middle school but they got a lot of work to do between now and next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
